lol@ anyone saying Melbourne were under the cap because they left a handful of players out. If they weren't cheating the cap, they wouldn't have had the calibre of backup player to bring in for the players they left out.
This is not to take anything away from the performance of the Warriors. They did their level best to ensure the Melbourne players and fans would have something small to latch onto after a sh*t of a week.
I will be very ineterested to see how the cheating scum peform for the rest fo this season. Pretty much the only motivator remaining for them is the good old siege mentality, and I'm curious to see how long that can actually fuel a team to bother turning up and trying to peform when ultimately they know there is zero reqard for their efforts. I'm also happy we don't play the bastards again. So as far as I'm concerned, I'm more than happy for the Storm to run out and smash other teams, both physically and on the scoreboard, legally or otherwise, because the Dragons can only gain from it. As for the two points we gave up to the cheating scum: 1) we didn't play well enough to deserve the win anyway; and 2) I think we'll win the minor premiership comfortably without those two points. Whether we can finally overcome our finals stage fright is another matter altogether.
